Toys and Games Books

These paper dolls are so trendy. It takes me back to the films I love so much. Glamorous and beautiful, colorful and fun. I love them.

I love the Language Practice books. Of all the grammar sources I have tried to use with my classes, this one is the best! The directions are clear, and they don't expect students to unnecessary tasks. I highly recommend this series of grammar workbooks.

This is a great book to use with a child just beginning to learn Spanish. At first the sheets are repetitive, and there are Spanish pronunciation hints below the words...very good for a person like me! It doesn't progress too quickly or move too slowly. The usual is covered here, including: colors, numbers, days of the week, items around the house and at school, the calendar, food, seasons, family, and body parts. I recommend the Teach Me Spanish CD to go with this, or the Twin Sisters Spanish CD. Carson Dellosa also makes a Basic Spanish Bingo game that is fun. Have fun!

Scott loved the vehicles and the making things that sail on a pulley accross our family room.

We bought this book for our 4 1/2 year old who loves Legos and is interested in math. The story is fun and exciting and shows practical applications for math concepts. The rock raiders crash on an unknown planet and must use the materials there to repair and refuel in order to continue on their mission. After going through this book a few times, our preschooler understood multiplication, division, using a calculator, estimating, and some basic word problems (how much fuel is required to go a given distance at a given rate). The excitement of the story makes the learning process FUN!

I have the Superfast Years book and found it excellent, and now I bought the Regular Wheels years, I think this book it a big help for collector that are starting their first moves about collecting Matchbox toys. The price guide is accurate and there are photos of models includin King Size series, Grey wheels and Special sets. Of course, there are another books from this author that includes mores and better detailed photos, but this is perfect book for the first steps.

This, as are the author's other works, is a standard listing and illustrated collector's aid. It covers models from the period when Matchbox began to produce die cast vehicles in consistent compatible scales such as 1:43, 1:50, etc.; the earlier models were more of a toy character and were made to fit the box. :0)

This is a fabulous book well worth the investment. For children who have already had an introduction to fractions, this reviews some basics so that children who didn't get it the first time around have another chance, while children who did get it the first time aren't bored because the ways in which basic fractions are reviewed are interesting and novel. Lots of hands-on activities and problem-solving. After one math class, my students said it was the best math lesson ever because we played games the whole time. It's easy to be a better math teacher with this book.

Excellent for those of us who learned the algorithm but either did not learn to make sense of the division and multiplication of fractions or do not quite know how to explain it. Marilyn Burn's strategies allow students to make sense of these "difficult concepts."

"Let's Find Treasure" is a book that should be good fun for any fan of Bear and his friends in the Big Blue House.

It's a rainy day, but everyone's been having fun indoors. The kids have finsihed their activities, though, and aren't sure what to do next. Bear suggests a treasure hunt. He provides them with a map that takes them to the attic and beyond.

With 16 flaps to lift, this book will prove interesting and entertaining. This is a board-book and fairly easy-to-read. The characters appear as they do in the TV series.
